Anyone stumbling into this review probably already knows who Les Claypool is. He's a bass player. He is good. I mean, Ronaldhino good. His track record is good to awesome. He is the Argentina winning 6-0 of bass players, and apparently it's not just about the result.

One day Mr Claypool woke up and in his unfathomably wired skull he decided: 'I shall make an album of awesome dimension, better displaying my talents than hitherto and it shall be stunning. Now, leave me, for I must concentrate on music never yet written or attempted.'

And he did.

Whilst Les Claypool has made albums before - both solo and in various bands - of which I have heard every one, this is something...well, just out there. His bass playing in 'One Better' and his...ballad..... 'Iowan Girl' is nothing short of literally jaw dropping. The former of the two is perhaps the live party-track of the year.

If you play the bass, like basslines, have seen a bass or are from a similar dimension from our seemingly alternate-reality inhabiting multi-handed loon, I advise you buy this.

this is les claypool's latest and in my opinion best solo album, it's far more accessable than some of his previous solo efforts without losing that weirdness that has sometimes been too overwhelming in previous albums. this is a funktastic album that gets into a groove and stays there. if your new to les claypool then get this, it'll open your eyes!

I have heard virtually all of Les Claypools work, which is in every way absolutely fantastic, and this is definately up there with his best. Awesome from start to finish. Bass playing genius. Need I say more..........

&This is not a cookie cutter Les Claypool effort. It is also not as accessable as his other work. It's very quirky and odd (sounds good already) First off, his bass playing is top notch here. Some of his best playing in my opinion in sometime. Very articulate clean. It is not hard edged like Primus, but gives a new direction that is colorful and well done.

a bit like a Beefheart/Stan Rigway effort, not for everyone, but is for those who are open minded, its gold.

He's not making songs as much as paintings & character studies that he has always done so well. Les is an Artist and must keep moving and I enjoy what he has brought to the table.
